Hummingbirds grow large in Alabama.

This is not my photo, but I have one that pecks in the gutter for bugs and then comes and gets a swig from the feeder by the window.

@Jasdip, that one reminds me so much of my friend who would leave plastic containers covering insects around the house for her husband to deal with. The habit stopped once she had children because no one can keep a curious toddler from lifting a random container. She bought a vacuum that was only used for bugs. She would vacuum the bug, then cover the wand outlet so the bug couldn't exit and the husband then had to deal with cleaning the vacuum. Later, she discovered that dogs will eat bugs. At last count, she had five dogs, three children and was still married to the same husband, bless his heart.
